Back To Work

If turning the alarm off at the beginning of your vacation is the best feeling in the world, then turning it back on at the end must surely be the worst.  

I woke up this morning wondering how on earth that week went by so fast, and it was cold at that. I did not want to get out of bed, but alas, I have no sugar daddy, so I pried my behind out of my nice warm bed, and out into the cold I went.  As if going back to work weren't enough, I decided to wear my new boots.  I'd been trying to break them in at home, but I didn't break them in enough.  

I'd planned on going to the store after work, but by the end of the day -- as I told my friend, "My feets hurt so bad I don't need anything from the store that can't wait until tomorrow."   I'd also planned on hanging my outside lights this afternoon, but that didn't happen either.  That's all I have left to do as far as decorating, having finished the tree yesterday. 

Instead, I came home and began pulling the rest of the meat off of my Thanksgiving turkey.  I've decided not to make more soup this year, because I've still got quite a bit left in the freezer from last year.  I'm going to use most of the meat to make turkey salad -- like chicken salad, but with turkey -- then boil the bones down to make sipping broth.  

Oh, and I got a lovely little thank you note from the Christmas At Sea people.  It really made my day!

Not uncoincidentally, today's Bible verse:  

And finally, a mysterious package arrived from Amazon, brought by UPS.  I don't remember ordering anything -- other than the storage box for my Christmas tree, but that's way bigger than this box, and isn't supposed to arrive until Saturday anyway.  

Hmmm, maybe it's a present.  Which is why I haven't opened it yet.  What if it is a present?  

Or what if it's just vitamins?  But those don't usually come by UPS...Whatever could it be?
